0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website data-factory.net represents a well-established German internet agency named :data factory, specializing in web design, CMS, internet marketing, and related digital services. With over 20 years of experience, the company targets businesses and organizations primarily in the Ingolstadt region, offering a comprehensive suite of services including consulting, hosting, integrations, and app development. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact information, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as Pimcore CMS, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and various third-party integrations for analytics, consent management, and customer engagement. The presence of GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms and accessibility tools indicates a commitment to privacy and inclusivity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs domain locking statuses, and integrates consent management for privacy compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness with a strong business credibility score. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit privacy and security policies, and adding a security.txt file to enhance transparency and security posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates as a small-sized technology service provider with a focus on digital transformation solutions for regional clients. Its business model revolves around providing tailored web and marketing services, supported by a broad portfolio of integrations and modules. The firm maintains a competitive advantage through long-standing market presence, comprehensive service offerings, and a strong local network including municipal partnerships. Revenue streams likely include project-based web development, hosting, consulting, and subscription services for cloud solutions and marketing tools. The company actively engages customers via social media and offers support through a dedicated ticketing system, indicating a mature customer service approach.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is good, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. The use of a consent manager aligns with GDPR requirements, and accessibility tools enhance compliance with legal standards. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in the security framework. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found. The site does not currently provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Create and maintain a security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  4. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Pimcore CMS, Bootstrap for responsive design, and JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Matomo), marketing (Google Ads), consent management, and customer engagement (Zoho SalesIQ, Leadinfo). The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features via Eye-Able. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain registration is stable and secure. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and formalize privacy and security documentation.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
